Nostalgia reads are good for many reasons

When I went grocery shopping recently,  I thought, " I wish you would get out of my way," when a tall man was taking up a lot of space in the aisle.

Suddenly, he actually turned to me, and said "Let me get out of your way," and moved.

!!!!!

I couldn't believe it. I remembered my book about a man's search for psychic children. Maybe this is one of the psychic children all grown up! I think I actually looked over my shoulder and smiled at him.

Later, when I was putting away my groceries in my car, he and his car were next to my car. It was nighttime.

He asked if I was doing okay with everything. I said I was fine. He said happy holidays. I said thank you. He said you're welcome. 

And while I do feel obligated to point out that this still shows that he's probably a bit clueless about the privilege felt by strange men talking to women in dark parking lots at night, since he did not mean any harm, I did not take it badly.
